Cuda, of Braham, Ramthun, of Grasston, Hughes, of Stanchfield and Flowers, of Braham, were on the official ballot.

Cuda, Braund, and Flowers will be sworn onto the Braham Area School Board in January 2012.

Due to the tie between Hughes and incumbent Klemz, each with 64 votes, the Isanti County News reports a coin toss will determine the winner, unless one of them declines the position, during a special school board meeting Tuesday, Nov. 15, at 7 a.m., when the election results will be canvassed.

The four-year terms of four school board members — Lowell Luebeck, Daniel Klemz, Craig Hammond and Anthony Cuda — will expire in January.
